The verdict

DC runs at 328% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Automotive Parts and Accessories Stores workplace, earning a grade F.

DC: 11.1 TCR = 328% of Automotive Parts and Accessories Stores BLS 3.4 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

DC safety composite

DC scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 6%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
